Let me present the final post to appear at my folk/folk-rock site Salut! Live. It dies with Typepad’s closure next week but is already settling into its new Wordpress home as salutfolk.com #folkmusic #folkrock @elizacarthy.bsky.social @nextwavef.bsky.social www.salutlive.com/2025/09/adie...

I'm trying to raise a bit of money to send books to a new Mobile Library being set up specifically to support the homeless in London. It's being organised by the charity "PINT Giving". I'm donating £100 & if you can help too, i'd be so grateful. More info here. tinyurl.com/37yn63zu

Imagine you’re living and working here, perfectly legally. You’re building a home and a life, maybe starting a family Then Farage says he intends to throw you out of the country How the hell must that feel? If you’re in Shropshire, would you talk to me about this? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

#NowSpinning #NowPlaying #NowListening Just wonderful. Virtuoso guitar and a now richly venerable voice. And some breathtaking arrangements, accompanied by Sheema Mukherjee on sitar and @elizacarthy.bsky.social on fiddle and voice. Let me swim in a jug of this.

What are your plans for tomorrow? This Sunday at 4pm BST we're livestreaming The Young'uns from St Andrew’s Church in Sheffield. Don't miss out - you're in for a treat! #LTYLR #LiveMusic #FolkMusic events.livetoyourlivingroom.com/events/livet...

Now that’s an English folk song I can get behind … love the musical references too! youtube.com/shorts/Z731N...

What are these 'concerned patriot' flag-raisers really like? The excellent @manchestermill.bsky.social has found out ... the hard way 😳 manchestermill.co.uk/twamley-talk... They did it so we didn't have to. Reward them with a follow or a subscription? manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...

There’s your “patriot”! Nigel Farage lobbying the US to impose sanctions on his own country to change the agenda of a UK government democratically elected by the UK population just one year ago. He’s a treacherous frog-faced buffoon.

I mean it is nice butter … but I think most of that is because it’s very salty.

Happy Labor Day! Thousands of comrades got their heads cracked in the street by pigs so you could grill today. Remember them and thank a union!!!

This is why Folk England is so important! We also learn Irish trad music through the Comhaltas charity, they are soooo well organised and funded! I think we could learn a lot from them, I loved hearing @elizacarthy.bsky.social talk on that 2 years ago at the Cambridge Folk Festival.

We're at Sidmouth! Are you at Sidmouth? Come and see us at the Blackmore Gardens Music & Craft Village. @sidmouthfolkfest.bsky.social #sidmouthfolkfestival #SidmmouthFolk #MusicalInstruments #FolkInstruments
